To me THE SKY has always been software that has a ridiculous price and is over rated. As mentioned earlier in this group Brent Boshart made his SATELLITE TRACKER program available as FREEWARE as he can no longer support it. It was only available for a few days as such before being withdrawn but I downloaded it. Since I dont use it to drive my telescope Im not sure how good it is but from reports Ive seen it does a good job so is something worth looking at. I suspect Project Pluto's GUIDE may also be suitable for driving a telescope but again I havent tried it . There is another expensive commercial product that does telescope satellite tracking - name escapes me at the moment - I think it was used to drive a 90 inch reflector in Texas.
